High Energy QR Code: 67. The Puppet Who Tells the Truth
After Xing Ye finished speaking, he didn't rummage through the pile of puppets. He said to Kirk: "What if someone finds out that the puppet is fake, escapes from Benedict, and comes to settle accounts with you again?" ?”
Kirk waved his hand and said, "I'm just serving the young master's maid, how do I know?"
Xing Ye winked at Cao Qian, and Cao Qian punched Kirk on the side of the face, breaking another part of the wall behind her.
"I said, I said!" Kirk said in fright, "in the hands of the owner of the mine, he took the mine from Master Benedict because he hid the young master's puppet."
"Very good," Xing Ye nodded, "I'd better look in this pile of dust."
Guan Ling: "..."
If you don't believe her, why ask?
However, he just thought about it in his heart. During this period of getting along, Guan Ling understood that everything Xing Ye did was justified, and nothing was superfluous. You will feel that he is doing useless work because he is too stupid to understand the deep meaning of it.
The three of them searched around in the small black room, and Kirk was so anxious that the wooden eyes rolled around.
There are at least thirty bodies in the small black room, each of which is old and very realistic.
"These puppets should be made by Master Benedict himself." Xing Ye said, "Each of them is enough to confuse the real ones. Unless you take them all away, you won't find them at all."
Cao Qian and Guan Ling's eyes were blurry, and they couldn't tell the difference between dozens of puppets.
"No, every puppet is different." The mirror, which had been silent all the time, said, "Look at this, his nose is pointed, and this, there is a small hole in his finger, and in the hole It smells like ink, and a pen should pop out from your fingertips.”
Cao Qian Guanling looked at the mirror. They were full of curiosity about the existence of the mirror, but Xing Ye didn't dare to ask.
Guan Ling sometimes couldn't help but look in the mirror, but Cao Qian didn't even look at it, for fear of making Xing Ye angry.
At this time the mirror spoke, and they dared to observe the mirror directly.
Xing Ye knows that the observation power of the mirror has always been strong, not just the power of the eye of truth.
An ability that can be activated without points is definitely not obtained by luck. According to Xing Ye's understanding of the system, the reason for activating the skill for free is that even if there is no system to grant this skill, the mirror can see through the disguise of things.
The mirror turned around in the dark room, stood in front of the most unremarkable puppet, reached out to hug it, and said with a smile in his voice, "You are the young master."
"How did you find out?" Xing Ye asked.
"Look at the surface of this puppet, and compare it with other puppets, do you see any difference?" asked the mirror.
The three of Xing Ye shook their heads in unison, unable to tell.
The mirror sighed and said: "Smooth surface, the other puppets are also very finely made, but there are more or less burrs on some parts. The puppet outside that can vacuum, his fingertips have friction due to frequent housework , a little rough.
Only this puppet looks like it has been carefully polished by someone's own hands, without any flaws. Someone must have made it and cared for it carefully, just looking at it can feel full of love, this is a puppet made with heart. "
Looking left and right, Xing Ye didn't see where the love was. Fortunately, he believed in the ability of the mirror, so he firmly said to the other two: "Well, that's it."
Kirk got really nervous this time, she stopped in front of the door and said, "You can't take it away!"
"Don't you want your young master to have a heart?" Xing Ye asked, "You put all your effort into protecting it, isn't it because you like it?"
Kirk said nothing, but her attitude was firm.
"Guanling, restore the house destroyed by Cao Qian." Xing Ye said suddenly, "Hide that dark room so that no one else will find out."
The two obedient players should be able to escape from Benedict. When they come back here, if they don't repair the house in time, they will be found out about the existence of the dark room.
Guan Ling used the skill Broken Mirror to reunite, his hand was placed on the wall, and the room was immediately intact.
"We need to talk." Xing Ye put the puppet in the hand of the mirror, and he sat in front of Kirk, "No matter how much a person likes to lie, he will show his true nature in times of crisis. I believe you care about the little puppet." Master, can you tell me why Benedict is not allowed to install a heart for his son?"
Kirk did not speak.
"If you don't tell me, we will take the young master to see Benedict immediately." Xing Ye threatened.
"No!" Kirk screamed, "Young Master can't leave the Puppet City. Master Benedict wants to install a heart for his son, and he must install it in the Puppet City!"
Xing Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and the little mirror found a clean rag, and was wiping the puppet's body. It was covered with dust, but it had no scratches or rust. It was obvious that someone was taking care of it carefully, but Pretending to be old-fashioned.
Xing Ye originally thought that Kirk was left by Benedict to protect the puppet, and the captain of the security team was her accomplice. They worked together to hide the puppet under the eyes of the city lord, and waited for Benedict to send someone to fetch the puppet. , Who knows that is not the case.
Xing Ye thought about it for a while, then he understood, and said to Kirk: "Before he left, Benedict could leave a message for old Nick, which means he was not in a hurry when he left. He didn't run away, but left by himself. Yes. Since he didn’t escape, why didn’t he take the puppet away? It seems that I was wrong before, the city lord never threatened Benedict with the puppet, and you were the one who hid the puppet!
Benedict created you to let you take care of the puppet. He trusts you very much and orders you to take the puppet out of town with him. Who knows that you didn't go out of the city, but hid the puppet here, and even Benedict couldn't find it.
And someone conspired with you, the Captain of Security, you betrayed Benedict! "
"I don't want to either!" Kirk, who was exposed, shouted nervously, "I didn't betray the master, I was created for the sole purpose of loving the young master, the master hoped that I would love the young master with the same affection as a mother , this is my nature, and I can't resist my own nature. Even though I know that I am just a by-product of the young master, I only exist to serve him, but I still love him! This is the feeling that is integrated into my core, and I can't refuse .”
The mirror stared at Kirk, and said to Xing Ye: "She is telling the truth, if there is no love, the little puppet can't be so flexible after so many years."
When Xing Ye first came to this world, due to the negligent management of the puppet's original owner, his physical condition was very bad. Even though he made such a mess of himself, the little puppet has no self-care ability but is so flexible. Kirk really has a heart, and he can't be so conscientious without feelings.
"Since you love him, why stop Benedict from installing a heart for him?" Xing Ye asked.
"Because I don't want to die," Kirk said painfully, "The captain of security saw the master's diary, and he wanted to take the little puppet away, destroy all the puppets in the puppet city, and rebuild a place suitable for the young master to survive. Utopia, we puppets are all failures.
The security captain, the city lord and I all want to protect the puppet city. We are human. When we are sad, our core will hurt. When we are happy, our core will feel comfortable. We will be afraid when we think about being destroyed. We don’t want to die..."
Kirk's feelings are so contradictory, but extremely real.
Benedict can create a paradise for his son, but he can also destroy it because of dissatisfaction.
But what about the puppets? It would be fine if there was no humanity, a simple machine would not realize how terrible death is.
But Benedict gave the puppets humanity, they understand the taste of fear, what is the difference between this and killing?
When parents give birth to children, should they kill their existence because they do not grow up according to their own wishes?
There is no such reason.
So in order to protect himself, only a few insiders in Puppet City persuaded Cork to let her hide the real young master. It was only after Benedict left Puppet City that he discovered that the puppet was fake.
At this time, the city lord has closed the city gate to prevent Benedict from coming back to look for the puppet.
If the finale route is really followed, after Benedict gets the real puppet, Puppet City will face a catastrophe.
"It seems that the real ending is to kill Benedict and restore the puppet city." Guan Ling said, "Fortunately, I followed the boss, otherwise I would have a wrong ending."
"Not necessarily." Xing Ye shook his head, "You have to remember one thing, what is our mission?"
Cao Qian answered the teacher's question in time: "Look for the only puppet that tells the truth and fulfill his wish. But who is the only puppet that tells the truth?"
There is no puppet in this puppet city to be trusted, they are all big liars, and they lie without blinking an eye!
"It's him." The mirror hugged the puppet and said, "The only puppet that hasn't installed a heart and hasn't given humanity yet."
After that, he found the spring on the puppet and started to twist it.
"It's him?" Guan Ling said in disbelief, "Does a puppet without humanity have appeals?"
The mirror did not speak. After winding up the clockwork, the puppet was placed on the ground.
The little puppet blinked twice, opened his eyes and walked around the room in a daze. When he saw Cork, he smiled happily, stretched out his hand and said to Cork, "Mom, hug."
Cock's voice was crying, and she said to Xing Ye: "Let me hug him, don't take him away from me. The master's wife died shortly after giving birth, and the master is still intoxicated Studying puppets, when the young master was young, I was the one who took care of him, and when he was alive, he kept secretly calling me mom."
Xing Ye nodded, Cao Qian let go of Ke Ke, Ke Ke squatted down, hugged the puppet in his arms, and said happily and sadly: "My little master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
She loves the young master, and like Benedict hopes that the young master can be resurrected and live happily in the puppet city. But at the same time, she doesn't want the Puppet City to be destroyed.
In the danger of the young master and the puppet city, Cork chose the puppet city. She has always felt remorse and apology for the young master.
When the little puppet heard Kirk's voice, it stretched out its small wooden hand to touch Kirk's face, and said in a very mechanical voice: "Mom, don't cry, don't cry."
"That's it." Xing Ye said suddenly.
"What?" Guan Ling was immersed in the relationship between the puppet and Cork, thinking of his divorced wife and children, and almost cried. Of course, he will not shed tears, because there are no tears in Puppet City.
The mirror reassuredly said: "The wish of the little puppet, the task we have to complete is the phrase 'Mom, don't cry'."
